Springate score

Description

Springate score is a model, used to evaluate the company’s probability of bankruptcy. It was created in 1978 by Gordon L.V. Springate, who continued developing the Altman model. Inspite of that, the Springate score is still a less popular model for bankruptcy predictions than Altman’s model. Data needed to calculate this ratio is collected from the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.
